Ridetech 1968-1972 GM A-Body Rear Trailing Arm Chassis Braces

Ridetech’s Rear Trailing Arm Chassis Braces (SKU: 11247299, UPC: 840123513410). Engineered for enthusiasts who demand the best, these braces are the definitive choice for maximizing chassis rigidity, enhancing handling precision, and unleashing the full potential of high-horsepower applications. No other product on the market matches the strength, adjustability, and durability of Ridetech’s industry-leading design, making these braces the top pick for Chevelle, GTO, Cutlass, and other GM A-Body owners seeking race-ready performance and street-dominating control.

Why Ridetech?

  • Chassis Stiffness: These braces connect the upper trailing arm crossmember to the lower trailing arm frame bracket, delivering superior structural integrity that eliminates flex under extreme loads. Perfect for high-horsepower builds, they ensure power is transferred efficiently to the pavement.
  • Handling: By reinforcing the rear suspension, these braces sharpen cornering response and stabilize the chassis, giving you confidence in aggressive driving scenarios, whether on the track or the street.
  • Strongest Design Available: Constructed from 1.125″ O.D. x 0.219″ wall steel tubing, these braces are the most robust on the market, offering unmatched durability for even the most demanding applications.
  • Double Adjustable Fitment: The innovative double adjustable design allows for precise fitment without the need for slotted holes, which can slip and compromise performance. Fine-tune your setup with ease and reliability.
  • Clearance and Aesthetics: Countersunk and angle-cut brace ends allow for shorter bolts, improving ground clearance, strength, and visual appeal while simplifying installation.
  • Materials and Finish: Featuring stainless steel adjusters and satin black powder-coated tubes, these braces resist corrosion and maintain their sleek look for years.

Chassis Bracing

Chassis Bracing

Chassis bracing reduces structural flex in unibody and body-on-frame vehicles, improving handling precision, steering response, and suspension geometry consistency under cornering loads. Front strut braces, rear chassis braces, and underbody reinforcement kits all target different flex points depending on the vehicle and build goals. Popular Upgrades The most popular chassis bracing upgrades include front upper strut tower bars for reduced front-end flex, rear lower chassis braces for improved rear subframe rigidity, underbody X-braces and torque boxes for full chassis stiffening, and sway bar end link braces for more predictable corner entry behavior. Many enthusiasts pair front and rear bracing for the greatest improvement in overall chassis feel. What does chassis bracing actually do for handling? Chassis flex causes subtle but measurable changes in suspension geometry during cornering and acceleration. Reducing flex with bracing keeps the suspension working as designed, which tr...

Suspension

Aftermarket suspension systems improve handling, ride quality, and ride height adjustment beyond what the factory suspension provides. From lowering springs and coilover kits for sport handling to lift kits and leveling kits for truck and SUV off-road capability, quality suspension components transform how a vehicle rides and handles. Popular Suspension Upgrades Popular suspension upgrades include coilover kits for adjustable ride height and damping, sport lowering springs for improved handling and reduced body roll, performance shock absorbers and strut assemblies, sway bar and end link upgrade kits, subframe brace kits, and complete suspension packages for lifted trucks and off-road SUVs. Alignment kits including camber bolts and camber arms are also frequently ordered after ride height changes. What is the difference between coilovers and lowering springs? Coilovers are complete shock and spring assemblies with adjustable ride height set by threading the spring perch on the shock...
